April 2025
this game has incredible art direction, a compelling emotional narrative, and deceptively complex gameplay. i also think it's criminally underrated for what it is, i've somehow never really heard anything about this outside of seeing it on steam as a game i might like (and like it i did). i like how the narrative is drip fed through gameplay, with the main parts of the story told as parts of the main campaign, and supporting information placed in floors as meta-progression upgrades. gameplay-wise, if you like roguelike card battlers that have a bit too many systems for the heck of it (which i find entirely justified as it was designed by a literal child in story) , give this a try

Cute little roguelike, impressively made by a single developer. The gameplay is simple to pick up, and the visuals and sound design are easy on the eyes and ears. The game attempts to tackle the theme of depression, but its approach is more akin to a sledgehammer than subtlety, which ironically made me laugh out loud. In a strange way, I enjoyed that too, so all's well. Definitely worth checking out for its charm and effort.

This is an excellent deckbuilder roguelike. The gameplay is engaging, and the challenge feels appropriate. Moreover, its style draws on The Binding of Isaac, where the gameplay is posed as a metaphor for emotional struggle. That is really effective here -- perhaps even moreso than in Isaac. I believe I got it on sale, but I would say that the $17.99 price tag is fair for what you'll get. My hours are inaccurate because my internet has been sketchy; I've played at least 20 hours. It is highly replayable.

Lacking on content but I had a good time while it lasted. Scratched the card deck itch that I sometimes get.
